Bristol Rob Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Forty five quid would cover the cost of Sky Sports for a few months I'd imagine so for a lot of people it would make sense to watch it at home and enjoy all the Christmas footy on the box.

ExiledAjax Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Swansea v Man Utd in round 4 was £20 for ST holders and £30 general sale. So Utd clearly can cope with a ticket price of £30. https://www.swanseacity.com/news/manchester-united-ticket-information-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to their website, Manchester non-member pricing for 2017/2018 home Carabao Cup ties is £29-£46. The pricing being mentioned is therefore consistent with this and Manchester officials could see the potential to charge higher prices given the demand in Bristol. With a crowd of over 25k, an extra tenner per ticket is worth about £100k per club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I know clubs have to both agree on any discounted tickets, surely no club can dictate or even have a say, if the home club plan to charge their standard match day ticket prices..?

ExiledAjax Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 2 minutes ago, AshtonPark said: If neither clubs can agree a price, doesnt it go to the FA to decide? Not quite. It goes to the Board of the EFL. Rule 23.1 Immediately after the draw is known the two Clubs concerned must mutually agree the prices. All questions in dispute must be immediately referred to the Management Committee for settlement. Then Management Committee is defined as "the Board" which in turn is defined as "the Board of Directors from time to time of the EFL". Doesn't say when it goes to the Board though. Rule 23.1 requires the clubs to agree "immediately after the draw" - well that clearly hasn't happened has it? https://www.efl.com/clubs-and-competitions/carabao-cup/about-the-carabao-cup/carabao-cup-rules--regulations/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that Man Utd can have a say on our ticket prices, unless we are suggesting reducing the usual match day price (which is fair enough) This is how bullshit rumours start. I despise Man Utd in every possible way, but they couldn’t & wouldn’t be demanding ticket pricing of this level. Utter tosh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is the case for league games. We should be charging Man U fans £20 for their tickets. I don't believe in ripping off fans of any clubs. And similar for home fans.

Either way, it’s completely not going to happen! It will be standard “gold” category pricing. Anything less than that, then full credit to City for not maximising profit and Utd for agreeing it.

Presumably they could suggest any price they fancied. The rules say that the two teams must "mutually agree". If they can't then the board of the EFL will settle it. I couldn't see anything in the Rules about respecting a club's normal pricing structure. You are right that it would seem odd of us to accept a price greater than our normal POTD pricing. Personally I suspect this is a storm in a tea cup and that we will in due course get some sensible answers. I didn't go to Palace - what did we charge for that game?

Why would some bod working behind the till in the club shop be privy to financial negotiations between our board and Manchester United’s, before they’ve even come to an agreeable conclusion themselves..?!
